My favorite new releases from the first half of 2013 -- new music, reissues and compilations
Produced live in the studios of WRIR 97.3 FM Richmond Independent Radio in Richmond, Virginia every Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Available as a webstream simulcast at wrir.org. Downloads for rebroadcast on other non-profit radio stations and as podcasts via the A-Infos Radio Project at radio4all.net. And more information about all of those options and more on my blog, globalagogo.com.
